Darwin Race 10

Asian-United Food Service Dash Division1

Stake: $2,052

OMAR MONELLI (1) has been without a win for a while, the latest jumping from the squeeze draw when fifth (22.48) at this track in a OPEN. Form at this distance is sound. Comes through a solid form race last start. Has ability and can bounce back. BRAVE EMBER (7) scored by 5.5 lengths last time (22.09) in a Grade 4/5 over 383m at this track. Can feature with the right run. SO NAIVE (4) can keep on winning after useful last start success, claiming a Grade 3/4 at this track over 312m in 18.21. Top win latest and can measure up again. BLUE MARGUERITE (8) is a last-start placegetter worth considering.

Comments

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (22.48) in a OPEN, finishing a 5.5 lengths fifth. Box stats strong with seven wins and four placings from 13 starts. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Comments

Backs up after winning easily by 5.5 lengths at this track (22.18) beating Tanaya in a Grade 3/4/5 on July 23 four days ago. This is much harder assignment and she needs to find another gear.

Good effort to win last start by 0.8 lengths over 312m at this track in a handy (18.21), beating War Admiral. Expected to run well again.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (22.41) in a OPEN, finishing a 4.5 lengths fourth. Has three wins and seven placings from 18 starts from the draw. Looks a place chance at best.

Won her last two including a strong win last start over 383m at this track by 5.5 lengths in a Grade 4/5. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Placed last time (22.58) at this track in a Grade 3/4/5, finishing third and beaten 5.5 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Has ability and should be around the money.
